    The life of Jesus is of critical importance in terms of Christian religion and its scriptures. Religious texts that convey the life and teachings of Jesus, which are widely known today by both Christian believers and other people, consist of canonical texts accepted as authentic by the Christian tradition. However, the apocryphal texts, most of which were found as a result of the discovery made in Nag Hammadi in the last century, revealed that early Christian communities had different approaches to Jesus. For this reason, the life and teachings of Jesus, which are the subject of our study, described in the New Testament apocryphal texts, are important in terms of reflecting the beliefs of various early Christian communities, unlike the generally accepted approaches to him today. In our study, in the light of the New Testament apocryphal texts, besides the narratives about Jesus' early childhood years, and where and how he spent the eighteen years of his life before he started his preaching, we identified aspects of his preaching that are not encountered in canonical texts. In this context; this thesis study, in which we examine the apocryphal texts that refer to the life of Jesus, his teachings and the approaches of the people who believe in him, showed that there were different perceptions of Jesus and Christianity in the sacred texts of the Christian communities that existed at that time, before they were declared heretical by the church in the early period.
